IELTS Writing Task 1: 'modes of travel' answer
The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985
and 2000.
m
Average distance in miles travelled per person per year, by mode of travel
The chart shows average distances that people in England travelled using different
forms of transport
in the years 1985 and 2000.
It is clear that the total number of miles travelled by English people using all modes of transport
increased significantly between 1985 and 2000. The car was by far the most used
form of transport in
both years.
In 1985, the average person travelled 3,199 miles by car, and this rose to 4,806 miles in the year
2000. The figures
for miles travelled by train, long distance bus, taxi and other modes also increased
from 1985 to 2000. Travel by taxi saw
the most significant change, with more than a threefold
increase from 13 miles per person per year in 1985 to 42 miles in 2000.
There was a fall in the average distances for
three forms of transport, namely walking, bicycle and
local bus. In 1985, English people walked an average of 255 miles, but this figure fell by 18
miles in
2000. Bicycle use fell from 51 to 41 miles over the period shown, while
the biggest downward change
was in the use of local buses, with average miles per person falling from 429 to 274 over the 15-year
period.
